Wrapped up last thread with some thinking on how Gramsci's concept of WarOfPosition could be used to understand the current PRC approach to HK.

This had been part of broader thinking on policy shaping PRC civil society under Xi.

Within PRC, I argued that CCP is aiming to construct an #IntegralState, where doctrine is formulated within political society, then legislation and regulation developed to ensure this doctrine permeates civil society and, crucially, restricts alternative perspectives.

Yet, China is complex and, while this applies mostly at the national level, there are several territories where alternative strategies are required: HK, Xinjiang and Tibet.

On February 27, 1933 the German Parliament building burned, Adolf #Hitler rejoiced, and the #Nazi era began.1/

#Hitler, who had just been named head of a #government that was legally formed after the democratic #elections of the previous November, seized the opportunity to change the system. “There will be no mercy now,” he exulted. “Anyone standing in our way will be cut down.”
2/

The next day, at Hitler’s advice and urging, the #German#president issued a decree “for the protection of the people and the state.”

This is something to hear from Sen. Robert Torricelli, a Democrat talking about standing alongside his Democratic allies AND Republicans, all behind US President Donald Trump for the destruction of the mullahs in Iran and #RegimeChange Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos

#Iran Protests courtesy of the #CIA
Jun 25, 2009 After President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won the Iranian Election, riots and protests erupted in #Tehran, The western media was quick to report on this #PSYOPS.

#US politicians, #Israel, #SaudiArabia & media dream of #RegimeChange in #Iran.
Jan 3, 2018 The more intense and violent demonstrations in Iran have given way to patriotic rallies with thousands of Iranians shouting pro-government slogans.

Jan 3,2018 Are the protests in #Iran spontaneous, or are they the result of another #RegimeChange operation?#TheCorbettReport James explores the past, present & future of #US and #Israel-i involvement in Iran, & the attempts to foment unrest in the country.

(1) In his take @SinaToossi claims the “Clinton and Obama administrations” thought about the Iranian people, conveniently forgetting how Clinton did nothing in the face of #Iran’s 1999 students uprising crackdown & Obama turned his back on Iranians in 2009atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/iransour…

(2)@SinaToossi blows his cover by mentioning “regime change,” making clear his mission, being a Tehran apologist, of devoting his “journalism” to preserving a regime with a grotesque human rights dossier in power.
Over 3,000 executions under #Iran's “moderate” Hassan Rouhani.

(3)@SinaToossi voices his main concern, being the #IranProtests, by attempting to downsize the 2017/2018 uprising to “parts of Iran.”
Reminder: Over 142 cities were scenes of unprecedented revolt, prompting the regime to kill more than 50 protesters & arrest over 8,000.

When @JZarif says, "#Iran never raced towards a bomb, nor will it race towards a bomb," rest assured it is the exact opposite.
We will realize how Tehran sought nuclear arms for decades. For a country sitting on an ocean of oil & gas, a "peaceful" nuclear program is meaningless.

A very telling cartoon about #NorthKorea & #Iran, as Pyongyang signals indications to set aside its nuclear weapons/ballistic missile program. This is leaving Tehran as now sole target of the international community's soon-to-come pressures.

For those who describe #Iran's FM @JZarif as a "moderate" or "reformist"

Khamenei Wild Animals under the name of Ethical or moral Police do like this with Iranian girls and women every day. What do you think the response of these criminals is?

A painful scene!...
The mullahs regime have turned Iran to a hell for Iranian women
These measures will lead to the Iranian Uprising.#FreeIran#Regimechange

The title & first paragraph of this article indicates the main concern of this writer: #RegimeChange.
Q: Why would someone be worried about regime change in #Iran, unless they have interests in such a regime remaining in power. Interestingaljazeera.com/indepth/opinio…

Thread

The term “anti-Iran” is interesting. Has #Iran’s regime left anything to be supportive of? Butchering innocent people across the #MiddleEast, gross #HumanRights violations back home, wasting billions on an unnecessary nuclear program, ballistic missiles & terrorism.
(2/21)

And talking about #NorthKorea being “disinclined” shows how #Iran is terrified of losing Pyongyang in its trek to obtain nuclear weapons & the ballistic missiles. Now Tehran is all alone. But why is this writer so worried about it? Again, a matter of common interest?

This is the result of #Iran's role in #Syria.
These three beautiful children on the right are now dead after being bombed in #EastGhouta.

This is #EastGhouta, under siege for 5 years by #Assad in #Syria, held in power by #Iran's regime.
These innocent people are being ruthlessly bombed. Hundreds dead in the past few days alone.
Be the voice of #Ghouta.

Innocent children, like this little angel, are paying the price of #Iran's belligerence in #Syria to maintain #Assad in power for their own interests, and unfortunately, the world's silence in the face of such atrocities of defenseless civilians being viciously bombed.

For those unfamiliar with #Iran's regime
Sedighi, Friday prayer imam of Tehran:
"The worst being is an individual without religion. They are worse than wolves, viruses & microbes. A godless person is not only no different than an animal, they are worse than an animal."
